Packed and ready to go

I'm all packed up and ready to go. 

I've got my medication, ensure drinks and discharge letter (plus a bag of dirty laundry for Hubby to do!)

I'm just sat on my bed waiting for Hubby to get here and pick me up. He's currently battling his way through traffic, made worse than usual courtesy of the tube strike. 

I've said goodbye to my lovely Irish neighbour who I've become very fond of. I made her a card because she liked the ones I made for the kids. She's a very religious Irish Catholic so she loved it. 

It has been lovely spending time with her, listening to the stories of her childhood and what it was like growing up in Ireland. She has prayed for me everyday and we've been to Mass together. She has never moaned or cried when in fact she has more right than most to complain given her health problems. I hope that the doctors continue to look after her so that she too will be packing her bags and going home to her husband and dog, Honey. 

As for me, I can't wait to see the look on the kids faces as they've no idea I'm coming home.
